Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the Congress should apologise to the country for doubting the integrity of the electronic voting machines (EVMs).
The coastal state is the land of patriots and known for its magnificent temples and churches, Modi added. The 2024 elections are a fight between the NDA’s ideology which seeks to fulfill aspirations of citizens and the INDIA bloc which works with selfish motives to protect their families, the prime minister said. “Our approach is not appeasement but ‘santushtikaran’ (making all happy),” he said.
The BJP government will hold the Olympics in the country, Modi said, adding that it was turning Goa into an international conference hub.
The insurance cover for fisherfolk will be increased, the PM said. The INDIA alliance wants to bring back Article 370 because of its appeasement politics, and Congress plans to impose a 55 per cent inheritance tax, Modi claimed.
“Congress’ ‘sahabzade’ (apparent reference to Rahul Gandhi) has brought an X-ray machine from abroad to check people’s wealth and distribute it to others,” the prime minister said. “All of you know who is Congress’ favourite vote bank. Congress will loot you in your lifetime, and also after death,” he said.
